Meadowridge Voices

At Meadowridge, learning often begins with curiosity, but sometimes a few wooden blocks, a sandbox, and a little play are also added to the mix. Our Grade 9 Design students have begun a special project in which they’ll research, create, and test toys designed to improve the fine motor skills of our Junior Kindergarten students.

In September 2025, Meadowridge School took an important step in its reconciliation journey by welcoming Ms. Charlene Smoke as its first-ever Indigenous Education Coordinator.

Student leadership and agency in the Elementary School come in many different forms.

It’s been over a decade since anyone has seen salmon return to Meadowridge School’s side of Latimer Creek. Once a salmon-bearing waterway, the last officially recorded return was in 2005. In 2012, a group of local environmental stewards released 4,000 hatchery-raised coho salmon fry into the creek, hoping to restore its ecological vitality. Since then, there had been no sign of their return—until now.
